Ohio Wesleyan University is pleased to announce a phased reopening of our campus community and the opportunity to tour our beautiful campus. We will continue to offer several ways to connect to OWU virtually, including daily information sessions, a 360-degree virtual tour, as well as our popular Bishop+ series and Bishop Banter podcasts.

Campus Visits

Experience OWU's campus in-person with your own student tour guide! During your visit, you'll walk through OWU's tree-lined campus where history drips from iconic, century-old academic halls. Take the time to visit Delaware, a quaint and thriving community with more than 20 restaurants within walking distance of campus. Tour slots are limited so that we can protect the health and safety of our guests and staff members. We encourage you to review OWU's COVID-19 visit guidelines and schedule a visit today!

OWU Virtual Tour

Tour our historic campus and state-of-the-art academic and athletic facilities using your smartphone, computer, or virtual reality (VR) headsets. To get started, simply click the “Let’s Go” button and click the arrows to walk around or jump to the next stop by clicking the “Next” button. If you already know where you want to go, you can select any location by using the menu.

Virtual Information Sessions

Offered daily at 3:30 pm EDT and led by an admission officer, these presentations provide general information about OWU and offer a chance for you to ask any questions you may have about OWU and the admission process.
